5.0 out of 5 stars Definately a keeper!, October 2, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I loved the book from the minute i glanced through its pages. It has a lot of great information and interesting facts about the fashion industry. Definately lots of help for someone who is just exploring their career options. I'm taking an intruduction to fashion course that had this on the book list but it turns out we don't realy even need it for the class. That was good news because the book is HEAVY, quite a thick read. Either way this is one textbook i acctually would want to keep even if i don't continue in the fashion's programm.

This review is from: The World of Fashion (Hardcover)
I got my money's worth. It came much faster than I planned it too, which was awesome. The edition is really old, but it works and I got what I paid for. I'm only writing this review so they can stop sending me emails about it.
